Question

【題目】Mr. and Mrs. Mallard(野鴨) were looking for a place to live. But every time Mr. Mallard saw what looked like a nice place, Mrs. Mallard said it was no good. There were sure to be foxes in the woods, or turtles in the water, and she was not going to raise a family(養(yǎng)家)there. Because she didn’t want foxes or turtles(烏龜)nearby. So they flew on and on.

When they got to Boston, they felt too tired to fly any further. There was a nice pond(池塘) in the public garden with a little island on it. “The good place to spend the night!” said Mr. Mallard. So down they came down from the sky.

Next morning they fished for their breakfast in the mud(泥地) at the bottom of the pond. But they didn’t find much. Just as they were getting ready to start on their way, a strange large bird came by. It was pushing a boat full of people, and there was a man sitting on its back. “Good morning,” said Mr. Mallard. The big bird was too proud to answer. But the people on the boat threw peanuts into the water. So the Mallards followed them all round the pond, and got another breakfast, better than the first.

“I like this place,” said Mrs. Mallard as they climbed out on the bank and waddled(蹣跚) along. Why don’t we build a nest and raise our ducklings(小鴨子) right in this pond? There are no foxes and no turtles, and the people feed us peanuts. What could be better?”

“Wonderful,” said Mr. Mallard. He felt happy that at last Mrs. Mallard had found a good place. But— “Look out!” cried Mrs. Mallard. “You’ll get run over!” And when she got her breath(呼吸), she said: “This is no place for babies, with all those terrible things around us. We’ll have to look somewhere else.”
